  • Title: [Lens induced myopia in steroid cataracts (author's transl)].
    Author: Koch HR, Siedek M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1977 Oct; 171(4):620-2. PubMed ID: 338967.
    Abstract:
    Longterm investigations of patients on immun-suppressive corticosteroid therapy showed that the development of advanced corticosteroid cataracts is accompanied by a marked increase of lens myopia up to 7.5 dpt. It can be assumed that this phenomenon is due to the optical effect of the discoid posterior subcapsular opacities.
